The Lakefly Planning Committee is accepting proposals for the 2025 Lakefly Writers Conference, May 2 and 3, at the Oshkosh Convention Center.
We are especially looking for speakers addressing the needs of beginning and mid-level authors. Topics could include but are not limited to writing techniques, contracts and other legalities, emerging technologies, and publishing trends.
Programs are 50 minutes long with an expected attendance of 25-35 participants.
Speakers receive a small stipend and an exhibitor table. Speakers traveling more than 50 miles are eligible for a hotel room; other travel expenses are not covered.
For a sample of the types of programs we’ve held in the past, please review the 2024 schedule.
Proposals may be submitted using this form: Lakefly Call for Speakers 2025 Conference
The Lakefly Writers Conference is sponsored by the Oshkosh Public Library in partnership with the Oshkosh Area Writers Club.
